I pick the team to win this. The Magic can be huge but the team is on fire and the run and gun might fatigue the Magic seriously. Rashard will have his hands ful with SJackson and vice versa but SJackson has never been so on as he is now. I reckon Baron will have a huge game and Monta maybe as well as Jameer is playing badly lately. Biedrins will have to do what he can against Dwight but likely Nelson will go with a small lineup for this one and run and gun.

if someone fart on the court so many times and it stinks like hell, do u think the referee will call technical foul on him...just curious!!!
coz i saw people play in the park and one of the guy fart 2-3 times and they kicked him out the game.

That is what I was going to say about this game: how much playing time with Foyle get and how will he be percieved? I think that he will get a HUGE ovation. He was a majorly popular player, and even if he doesnt get a whole lot of minutes against other teams, it would be right to get him in the game, even if just scrub minutes, against his old team.

if pheonix did it, then we can do it. i hope the lakers game wore em off. we blew out seattle and rested our starters for half of the 4th quarter, so i think orlando will be more fatigued than us; plus we're playing at home. i say we win a close one, but the thought of dwight howard just scared me. i hope he doesnt block too many of our shots. those are really bad for our morale.

Yeah, I also hope Foyle plays and gets an outstanding ovation. Foyle was unfairly treated during his Warriors tenure due to his bloated contract. People just expected too much from him. But he did anything he could to help the team, even to the point that he's our all time leader in blocked shots. This year, he's having a remarkable season at a bit over $1 million. Just look at his game against the Lakers: 8 points, 7 boards and 3 blocks in just 12 minutes (4-4 shooting, which won't happen everyday...)

Anyway, I'm glad Foyle is playing well for Orlando and I hope he gets all the ovation he deserves.

Back to the game, Howard will get his stats. That always happens and we shouldn't worry about it (well, we should try to limit him, that is... but knowing we won't be able to shut him down). The key here is stopping Lewis and Turkoglu. If we're able to do so, the game should be ours.

btw, Jameer Nelson is in one of those awful streaks of him. He better don't wake up against us. The Magic are a much better team when he plays well (which hasn't happened in the last 4 games).

I'd call this a dead even matchup, so it really depends on whether the outside ball is falling for the Warriors. If the Dubs shoot below 30% for 3, Orlando's walking away with it. The need to keep it out of the halfcourt game and focus on Dwight Howard. You'd rather Rashard Lewis gets hot than Dwight because at least Jackson has a shot at stopping Lewis. Howard cannot be slowed down. He'll get his 20 and 20, unless Harrington can come up with another amazing defensive stand, like he did against Yao. Fronting Howard may not work, as they can lob him the ball and he jumps as high as anybody.

I'd love to see the Warriors win, but despite the current hot streak, my gut is saying Magic by 6.

The thing is, the Ws are not going to stop Dwight or, to a lesser extent, Rashard, so you give them their 50 points. If I were Nelly, I would do a combination of small ball run and gun and hack-a-dwight. Among Croshere, Mbenga, Biedrins and POB, that is 24 fouls to use. The manchild scores 80% of his points within 5 feet of the basket, but is a pretty poor shooter. This is the toughest test for the Ws during their current streak, so a hard one to call. I'll say Ws 117-114.

Warriors will either live or die by the 3 tonight. If we can shoot well from distance tonight things should go well. As everyone has said we will not be able to stop Dwight Howard, but we should be able to contain everyone else. I also think an early lead, like the past 2 games, will be a necessity. If all goes according to plan; Warriors by 4.
